Yeah, this guy in the comments really knows a lot.

"I was never a huge fan not because of the VW lineage or because they were water cooled or was one of those people who thought they weren't real Porsche's (Hell, my 75 911 was water cooled). Better at high speed touring than an s13? Sure, I guess? That's about it for me though."

It actually happened to me shortly after I purchased my car a long time ago, but luckily it didn't take out the timing belt.

I think mostly he's just bitching about having to do timing belts every few years, which is kinda stupid. It's an older car, and that's pretty much it. If you're not up for something as simple as a timing belt job every few years, the world is better off if you don't have a 944 anyhow.

I noticed that right away. It doesn't matter where you go these days - there are always a bunch of a-holes out there, under the guise of anonymity, proving what a-holes they truly are.

As mentioned, it's just as well. These cars don't belong in their hands.

This is as old a time itself, there were a-holes before the internet allowed them to sprout their crap anonymously and we just ignored them. These days people seem to get riled up by these trolls and go all ad-hominem on them. They are not worth the effort.
